Yo, Grace. Local drug advice here seldom approaches PDR or Merck quality. Some people believe asking for description printout conveys a lack of trust in both doctor and pharmacist. Anyhow, I always ask. Uses: This medication is used to relieve a dry cough and helps to loosen phlegm and mucous in the lungs so you can "cough-up" (expectorate) mucous...not for chronic, persistent or smoking, asthma coughs or cough that lasts more than one week, tends to recur, accompanied by fever, headache or rash. For other effects not listed, contact doctor or pharmacist.

Anyhow, the supervising home health doctor sent 60 tablets , 2 per day, 5 refills, no name or strength on container but HUMBID #p Q-BID LA TAB. (Or? the man is terminal??don't bother me with this request again?) We've used two suction machines, one on either side of the bed, for over two years. We've courted pneumonia since early February. How do you use this med? Yesterday Jan's peripheral oxygen was good but 99.8 Ax checklist today means 3.5 degrees fever for Jan. Medicare requires two consecutive days of more than 100 oral before reporting or even considering sending a nurse before the next scheduled visit. Ours is weekly. Summary reports are sent every two months--maybe even read--for Medicare payment to doctor and nursing agency. Patient signs at home and then agency paperwork is done in the office. Your system much the same? Doctors may never meet the nurse or patient. Old family doctor way was at least

personal. Are your services similar?

I always want to request information and the post rereads like complaining. How can a woman know what she feels until she hears what she says is more to the point. Do HHA services differ by state or location? Comparison sharing helps.

My computer developed severe gastrointestinal disturbances day before yesterday after eating my outbox, draft and delete letters. Told me so, but in screen squigglies with no attention grabbing noise as I checked Jan. It is 7:30 pm as I send this. Last posts at 4 in the morning probably were not spit out until 4 next afternoon. Can you note and post arrival time?

When you can, if you will, answer. Please.
